Chevy Pickup: $20,000, Shirts Extra

If you live in Michigan, you don't need to attend the Woodward Dream Cruise to ogle fine old rides. During the summer months, you trip over them, even at garage sales in the sticks. But perhaps even more than elsewhere, Michigan folks love their cars and tend to think they are worth serious cash, even if they are just a 1950 Chevy Pickup.
Not that this Chevy, which was seen in my hometown doubling as a clothing rack, isn't beautiful. We'd love to own it. It's just that we don't think it's worth the $20,000 they were asking, even if you threw in the house it was sitting in front of.
The truck has a rebuilt 350. The body seems solid, although the paint has the telltale runs of a DIY home garage job. We wouldn't feel good if we took this one home for $10,000. But value, after all is in the eye of the man with wallet. The truck is worth a buyer will pay. All I know is what when I left town on Sunday, the truck was still sitting in the driveway.
